Jonas Brock won the young academics poster price at the annual meeting of the German Veterinary Epidemiology Section (DACh-Tagung; hostet by DVG). Poster title: Structure the mess - Disentangling disease models for cattle populations.

Deborah Wolf, defended her Master Thesis "Individual based modelling to understand local emergency measures against African swine fever using combinations of separation by fences and intensive hunting buffers" at the University of Rennes 1, France using a spatially explicit simulation model developed in NetLogo while at EcoEpi.

Jonas Brock starts his PhD at EcoEpi. Funded by the Irish Gouvernement, potential management options of the Irish Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) control programme are assessed. The version 2.0 of EcoEpi's FarmNet model will be developed as technical backbone.

EcoEpi invited in an expert hearing by the Saxonian Landtag on intensified management of wild boar as response to the African swine fever virus invading European landscapes „Gesetz zur Änderung des Sächsischen Jagdgesetzes“.

Laura Meier submitted Master Thesis at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburgs: Ecological Modelling of African Swine Fever Transmission: Upscaling Experimental Data to Understand the Role of Virulence in Population Level Persistence
